Hi Thomas, just my two cents as Ubuntu DPDK maintainer (and part of the Debian Team that does the same). (Yeah I really could reuse it three times :-) )
It will be a bit of effort to adapt, but should be no rocket-science. I like that eventually the namespace will be cleaner. Just curious, do we already know by looking ahead if ethdev will get an ABI bump anyway? So will the transition be: a) libethdev4 -> librte_ethdev5 b)libethdev4 -> librte_ethdev4 If it is b) would/should one provide a compat symlink then in your Opinion? Anyway, for now I think it is fair to say: Acked-by: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt at canonical.com> Christian Ehrhardt Software Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd On Wed, Jul 27, 2016 at 6:33 PM, Jan Viktorin <viktorin at rehivetech.com> wrote: > On Tue, 26 Jul 2016 18:22:21 +0200 > Thomas Monjalon <thomas.monjalon at 6wind.com> wrote: > > > The right name of ethdev should be dpdk_netdev.
